Hi Gary,<br>
<br>
I've added both the repositories <a href="http://repository.maemo.org/extras" target="_blank">http://repository.maemo.org/extras</a> and <a href="http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel" target="_blank">http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel</a>, but searching for git in them didn't give results. Googling 'site:<a href="http://repository.maemo.org" target="_blank">repository.maemo.org</a> git-core' gave me <a href="http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/diablo/free/g/git-core/" target="_blank">http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/diablo/free/g/git-core/</a> as the first hit, containing git-core_1.5.6.3-1.1maemo0_armel.deb, and <a href="http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/dists/diablo/install/" target="_blank">http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/dists/diablo/install/</a> as the second, containing git-core.install. When I open the .install one on my N900, the application manager is opened, and it says "Unable to download 'git-core'. Application package not found." Can you help me out? Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
Roald<br>
